We had quite a discussion about this recently - can't remember if it was in a separate thread or in Jeremy's Introducing Global Prime.
There are two problems: either alternative platforms do not support all the investment we have made in CrapQl4 coing; when they do, the brokers cannot afford the license fee the alternatives want. I seem to recall Jem was in negotiation with a platform provider that could accommodate our CrapQl4 code, but the details are a tad hazy and it looks as though he got nowhere.
The Cretins at Crapperquotes did what the Morons at Microsoft did - got in first and cornered the market.
For the time being we are stuck with them and have to do the best we can to ameliorate their latest dimwitted attempts to annoy enough people sufficiently that an alternative emerges that everyone buys into. Best was of ameliorating them is to find a way of sticking with an earlier, more stable crapbuild.
Here is how stuck we are with CrapperTrader4 for now, even if an affordable alternative comes along.
Try this exercise.
Imagine an exciting new platform emerges that the brokers can afford to offer as an alternative to CrapperTrader4. It is brilliant. It works seamlessly. It is every traders' dream. It does not support all our work over the years in terms of ea/script/indi development.
Pour yourself a stiff drink. You are teetotal? Become un-teetotal; you will need to.
Take a couple of stiff slugs so you are nice and relaxed. You are in a warm and safe place.
Then ask me to learn a new coding language and rewrite: mptm; HGB; PPoS; ZP; my shells..................
If you manage to survive the reaction to
that. have a quick word with Jose Luis.
And then Paul.
And Tommaso.
Need I continue?
